OK. I've put about a packet (20 sheets) of Polaroid PolaPan 55 through my crown and my 545. 2 Questions:
1 is there a surefire way to not tear the %$#%^$#%^$ negatives when you are taking the packet apart (even folding along the perfs doesn't work all the time...)
2 Is there an acceptable alternatives to those obnoxious coater things? I have a distant memory of a threat that talked about everthing from lacquer to Aqua Net, but I can't go look it up now (Borrowing a computer).
